This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Looking for playtest feedback for Iron Eagle, my TTRPG

I'm looking for people who would play my TTRPG's Quick Start with their friends and give feedback about the mechanics and ways they think they may be improved.

My game system is called Iron Eagle, and it is a furry-themed World War 2-era Dieselpunk game about playing soldiers in Germany, fighting battles against America and Soviet Russia. The game is designed to be fast and brutal, and its main inspirations are Red Orchestra and Final Fantasy Tactics. One of the most unique features are shown off in Mission 2 of this Quick Start, where each player is capable of commanding an entire squad of men during a large fight.

I would argue it classifies as OSR, but its inspiration is Albedo rather than Dungeons and Dragons. Part of me wants to make the game more complicated to get the vibe of Phoenix Command and the like, but worry if its already too complicated.

For the free Quick Start rules, go here: https://sqeek-songplay.itch.io/iron-eagle-blitzkrieg

The Quick Start rules are slightly simpler than the full game, ignoring special mechanics for gun types and vehicles.
